Shortcode called incorrect

    add_shortcode should really be called in the init function and inside your init or at least __constructor methods.

    Calling the the shortcode with staticly generates an error since it’s not a static method.

    I would suggest moving it into the plugin class or at least calling the object you created just before the add_shortcode function $EDD_Software_Specs like so:
    add_shortcode( 'edd-software-specs', array( $EDD_Software_Specs, 'edd_software_specs_shortcode' ) );

    Sorry for the delay. Thanks for pointing out the error. I’ll fix this sometime within the next few days. I have to change the line to:

    add_shortcode( 'edd-software-specs', array( EDD_Software_Specs::get_instance(), 'edd_software_specs_shortcode' ) );

    Note:
    I leave “add_shortcode” outside the class because of the example in the WordPress codex.

    Your object $EDD_Software_Specs is your class with instance since you called it before as $EDD_Software_Specs = EDD_Software_Specs::get_instance(). So it’s the same thing. 🙂

    Thanks again. Version 1.7.1 (just released) fixes this. I hope this helps.
